[Aroid-l] Monstera fruits - when ripe?

From: Steve Marak <samarak at gizmoworks.com> on 2009.08.05 at 04:11:26(19632) Aroiders, I thought this topic had been discussed before on Aroid-L, but I can't find it - how long does it take Monstera fruits to ripen, and how does one tell they are ripe? Last year about this time, a Monstera cutting in the greenhouse (which had, of course, gone through into the ground) began flowering. Two fruits formed. I thought I remembered from that previous discussion that I can't find that it takes quite some time for them to ripen, so I wasn't concerned until I saw it flowering again the other day and realized it's a year later. Last year's fruits are indeed a bit softer, but in the way that wood is softer than rock, not in a way that makes me think they're edible.
